Gilmore's 59.9 field-goal percentage remains No. 1 in NBA history. Spotting rivals five prime seasons over in ABA land, he still ranks 42nd in NBA rebounds (fifth in ABA/NBA combined) and 40th in NBA free-throw attempts (eighth overall). As for the more newly fangled metrics, per basketball-reference.com, Gilmore has a career offensive rating (115.1) that ranks 42nd and win shares (189.7) that put him sixth all-time.

I loved those Spurs teams with the A Train and the Iceman. Nobody has cool nicknames anymore.
